Answer:

Option C is correct = fluorine

Explanation:

An atom consist of electron, protons and neutrons. Protons and neutrons are present with in nucleus while the electrons are present out side the nucleus.

All these three subatomic particles construct an atom. A neutral atom have equal number of proton and electron. In other words we can say that negative and positive charges are equal in magnitude and cancel the each other. For example if neutral atom has 6 protons than it must have 6 electrons. The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom.

This diagram show that there are 9 electrons and 9 protons are present. We know that the number of protons or electrons are atomic number of that element. From periodic table we know that atomic number of fluorine is 9 thus the given atom present fluorine atom.

postnew [5]

Answer:

A) An ionic compound dissolved in a polar solvent

Explanation:

Potassium Chloride's chemical formula is KCl. Most ionic compounds are formed between a nonmetal and a metal. In this case, potassium is acting as the metal and chloride is the nonmetal. Water is a polar solvent due to the electronegativity of the oxygen in the molecule creating a partial negative pole, leaving the hydrogen atoms partially positive. Hence, A is your best answer.

Answer:

A: element B

B: element A

C: element B

D: element A

Explanation:

decrease in size leads increase in electronegativity because the smaller the size, the closer the shell is to the nucleus. Also, atomic radius decreases to the right and up on the periodic table. Atomic radius increases to the left and down a period. I hope this helps!

Do you know how to do this? if you have 4 grams of carbon-14, how much carbon 14 remains after 11,460 years? the half life is 5,

Delvig [45]

Carbon dating has given archeologists a more accurate method by which they can determine the age of ancient artifacts. The halflife of carbon 14 is 5730 ± 30 years, and the method of dating lies in trying to determine how much carbon 14 (the radioactive isotope of carbon) is present in the artifact and comparing it to levels
